In a press statement on Thursday (May 22, 2025) the Hisar police maintained there was no direct evidence to suggest that she was in touch with any terrorist organisation. Some central agencies were also interrogating her, but she was in the custody of the Hisar Police, said the statement. It also refuted several rumours being spread in the media regarding the revelations made by her during interrogation

According to the FIR, the woman purportedly told the police during interrogation that she ran a Youtube channel, “Travel With JO”, and met Ehsan-Ur-Rahim alias Danish two years ago when she went to the Pakistan High Commission seeking a visa to the country. She stayed in contact with Rahim over phone and twice visited Pakistan where she met his acquaintance Ali Ahwan, who arranged for her stay and travel in the country.
